COMPARISON OF THERMAL HAND MODELS AND MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS

Summary, in English

Five sets of gloves were tested on 3 hand models with 2 measuring system in order to ensure repeatability of results from the past and for the future. The other aims of the study were to compare the possible differences related to different number of measuring zones, and effect of temperature distribution over hand surface. The hand models had 2 (HF), 9 (H2) and 10 (H3) zones respectively. Models H2 and H3 were tested on the new regulation system and models H2 and HF on the old regulation system. Homogenous vs. inhomogeneous surface temperature was tested on H2 and HF. All hands were tested at low (0.3 m/s) and high (4.0 m/s) air velocity. Non‐uniform temperature did not affect the results if parallel method of EN ISO 15831 was applied. A higher insulation value was acquired with a one zone model vs. multiple zones. The transfer to new system did not affect the results.
